I am deeply, deeply worried about POTUS referencing the “Proud Boys” unprompted in the debate in the manner that he did. He is clearly waaaaaaaay more involved in the day to day management of relations with/winks toward extremist groups than he has thus far allowed to be exposed.

The real story of the “young” far-right M*G* “manhood”-heads is that none of them finished college — actually many never even went — because they were hand picked & cultivated via a right wing radicalization pipeline that has been deliberately built over the past 3 decades /1
The whole point of grabbing enthusiastic high school kids is that by giving them a vague position with pay and connection to authority, they are totally dependent on you and more likely to become unquestioning zealots of whatever ideology — also they can never leave /2
They have no education, no real experience, they can’t alienate whoever chose them or elevated them to edgelord because they have no skills and can easily be blacklisted from the gravy train /3

“Russia is bogged down in Ukraine & can’t do anything else” 🙄

Russia has used the Wagner turnkey resource theft model in Africa to help fund its war against 🇺🇦

This isn’t the first coup/attempted coup they have backed or benefitted from in Sudan /1

Russia has stolen (likely billions of dollars of gold) from Sudan. This CNN report from last year documents a flight that attempted to smuggle a ton of gold — as cookies — a few days after the war started /2

cnn.com/2022/07/29/afr…
The Russian gold operation was sanctioned but 🤷‍♀️/3

Astonishingly malicious BS against Estonia in this, sourced as west dip complaints

Estonia:
-sent huge amounts of its own new defensive equipment rapidly to help 🇺🇦
-sent functional needed equip
-has given more (as % def budget) than any other ally /1

politico.eu/newsletter/bru…
The facts in the linked piece are simply incorrect.

Additionally, they do not include the absolute outpouring of civilian Estonian support, including crowdfunded/donated body armor, uniforms, ambulances, fire trucks, vehicles, medical supplies, other gear /2
Estonians — individuals, organizations, businesses — have donated hundreds and hundreds of vehicles to Ukraine.

Their military & civilian reserves are fully activated in support of the war in Ukraine.

They have expanded their defense budget and trained more reserves /3

Twitter was powerful was bc real valuable information—from historians, revolutionaries, reformers, emergencies, issue experts, OSINT, what have you—could come from ground level & have breakthru influence

Now it will just be another elite influence box crowding out real people /1
It is being re-engineered so you only see what the guy in charge thinks is important, with a back door for whoever is willing to pay to piggyback the same system, but 👆 story is important because even if you pay, you don’t have advantage

Advantage comes only from patronage /2
This has already changed how we get information about actually important things that matter.

We won’t see how disruptive this was until years on /3

Pretty much this
Yeah we wouldn’t want anyone to take a moral stance against internal repression in their own country or external imperialist ambitions & the mass slaughter of civilians in a war of aggression. We’re just here to provide a soft normalization of Putin’s worldview, says hockey.
Maybe @NHLBlackhawks should think about tens of thousands of Ukrainian, Polish, Georgian, Baltic, and other former-captive-nation descended Americans who have made their home in Chicago, only to see this Moscow-pandering drivel. The team should invite them in, talk about history.

Like many Washingtonians I grumble about the state of repair of the older terminal in Dulles and the moonbuses to everywhere — and then I get rerouted through Newark and remember Dulles is like a palace, the moonbuses a litter born by oiled centurions.
Newark has added new furniture to replace normal gate seating — modern looking tables and chairs — only they are bolted to the floor like prison furniture. 👍
